So, you call yourself a golf nerd? You've heard about the new line of Scotty putters but you're unsure what they are about? They are pretty simple to explain, for a review of the new Cameron & Crown putters, and my final thoughts, read on!
The Explanation:
Most retail outlets order their Cameron inventory at 35", its thought that its easier to cut down a putter for a customer than it is to extend it.
Problem is, when you cut a putter down in length, you need to add weight to the putter head in order to keep the putter performing dynamically the same way it was originally designed. If you notice when buying a Scotty Cameron Putter (available in the Spargo Golf Store, check it out!) that each length is sold with different sole weights in relation to the length. As the putter gets shorter, the weight increases:
Length |
Standard Sole-Weight |
35" |
10g |
34" |
15g |
33" |
20g |
There are even Heavy-Packages available (also available in the Spargo Golf Store, check it out!), where you can order the next heavier set of weights in relation to the length. However, the Heavy-Package is not available in Cameron & Crown putters, they are sold as-is at 33" with 20g sole weights. But, for the GoLo, Select, and Futura putters, they are available in:
Length |
Heavy-Package |
35" |
15g |
34" |
20g |
33" |
25g |
Scotty explains that he has been inundated with custom shop orders of golfers wanting a shorter 33" putter and needing to add the heavier weights to the putter sole. Thus, the Cameron & Crown putter line was born. In order to alleviate the demand in his shop, he took his four most popular models, chosen by their unique design for each putting stroke type, and constructed them to be off-the-rack 33" putters, with no modifications required. These are not collectable putters, these are to actually use on the course!
Final Thoughts:
The putter is the only club you use on every hole, it should be the most expensive club in your bag. Why else would we call it the money stick! It's because you win bet's on the green, not driving off the tee. Many of us have a putter that we choke-up on.. Which really is not optimal. For those of you who choke up on your putter, you need to add weight to the putter club-head, and if you've ever tried to add 5 to 10 grams of lead tape to a putter (or any other club), it looks like crap! Seriously, it takes a lot of lead tape, layers and layers of it... Not to confuse you more, but when you start to add lead tape to area's that aren't supposed to have weight, you alter the MOI of the putter. NOT GOOD! If you want to do it right, Scotty Cameron has found a way. There is a reason you buy a Cameron putter over another brand. You buy a Cameron because it is designed correctly, with you in mind, he does not try to sell you a P.O.S. with some elaborate story seducing you into purchasing. (For those who don't know, P.O.S. is an acronym for Piece of S**t.) Hence fourth, if you choke up on your putter, or think you need a shorter putter, consider the Cameron & Crown, but also do yourself a favor and go through a putter fitting. These putters are not cheap, at $379.99, make sure your getting the right one..

I picked up the Futura X5R, to go along with my Golo 3 and Studio Design 3.5, and was VERY happy with the results on the results when playing.
The Studio was a little light and the Golo was a bit firmer than I had been used to having a Taylormade Ghost Daytona Black Tour that wasn’t as consistent as I needed.
The Cameron and Crown was an excellent fit. The look and feel were perfect for me. The only drawback is the fact that my hardcover came off, thereby causing me to lose it. Titleist does NOT carry any in a backstock so, you have to try to find one from eBay or Amazon and they are roughly $80 each.
The Titleist rep told me to ONLY put a non Scotty hardcover on this putter as theft of this particular model has nearly TRIPLED. So, now my Cameron and Crown Futura X5R has a Ping hardcover on it.
Bottom line, this line is the best I have ever had. If you want one, get one very soon as they won’t have any out until 2019.
Play well and enjoy your Cam and Crown.
